Oregon's laws are a lot more permissive than Washington laws and that seems to be the way laws are evolving state to state. In both states medical marijuana patients can possess more pot and grow their own marijuana, so this comparison is focused only the laws that deal with recreational weed enthusiasts.

A representative of Hotels.com said searches for Denver bookings during April 17-20 are up more than 60% over the same period in 2014 and searches last April had skyrocketed 73% higher than the same period in 2013 before recreational marijuana became legal in Colorado. That means hotel searches have more than doubled in two short years, and booking to capacity is likely for nearly every hotel in the area - which brings a massive influx of money to the state as tourists arrive and spend at restaurants, events, stores and more throughout the local area.
